In March, a Congressional Research Service (CRS) report warned that China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) could overtake the United States Navy in the total number of submarines.

The German crew was wearing primitive life jackets as the men made their way to safety on the American ship. Many were in a very weak condition.
